In the UK at least, the system is massively open to corruption. Being marked as not fit for work is less about the symptoms of whatever you have and more about you being able to word it all the right way.

If there's corruption in benefits claims then the benefits bill is higher than it should be... as long as the corruption is significant. If it's minor then it's still bad but negligible, right. Right? Uhh, no.

My overall point is this. Yes, there's corruption. Of course there is, there's money involved.

Been a long time since I've posted on social media, so I'm messing up stuff like post orders and asking questions in the right historical order.

That was was it - I can cope with social contact in tiny bursts, so I'm fit for work. QED. Uhh no.

Now... it's not that too many people are trying it on. It's perhaps that too many people are trying it on, succeeding, and passing the info on to others.

Now, I'm a 57 year old man, in the UK, and it seems to me that at least some of the problem about the total benefits bill being too high is that the number of eligible people has perhaps been underreported for one reason or another. Bear with me.

Not that anyone should feel sympathy for the berk, but his failing health and his utter misery since being re-elected do make me wonder if one of his doctors has told him the truth about his health - for a change - and that he doesn’t have long left. Cancer? Would fit with weight loss…

Tried, failed, and apparently didn’t understand why he failed. Spoilers: it probably wasn’t due to lack of money. Still keeps supporting him though. The prospect of tax cuts for the ultra rich must be a really strong motivator. Unless someone somewhere has something on him…

There’s a potential factor that you’re not taking into account, Dave. However, I’m afraid that I can’t have that discussion right here and now. It’s nearly 3 AM here in the UK, so please bear with me as I would value people’s input as to whether it’s an actual factor or just a mirage. Laters.

Ah, I’d pick one hole in that. The first time around, Trump was certainly both corrupt and incompetent, but now? Now, due to cognitive decline, he’s possibly beyond incompetent, he’s non compos mentis. It may look like incompetence but it’s potentially far, far worse.

It can be a bit of an acquired taste. The fact that the studio took over the final edit apparently - as they tend to - didn’t help as they predictably changed quite a bit to fit… studio norms?

Oh, you’d be wrong, at least about the film. It takes a good couple of hours… and lots of horror… and blood. Still worth considering if you’re into sci-fi and/or horror but preferably both.

A little tip - this isn't for developers, we all know this... but fans? When a developer you claim to really like and respects makes a post about their game being on sale? It's not the time they want to hear your personal hang-ups on why you hate their game... it's not. You can just not post.

I’m British and my own history isn’t my strongest suit, never mind yours. I get the feeling though that when you mention the name ‘President Warren Harding’ outside the US, people have probably never heard of him. I haven’t Googled yet, but I’d assume that he was a nondescript lame duck, basically?
